I have been participating in sprint and international distance triathlons for many years but this year is a little different. On August 9th I will be doing the Steelhead Half Ironman 70.3 in Benton Harbor, MI while raising money for this great cause.
I was introduced to Dare2tri a few years ago and I have been inspired by what they offer athletes with disabilities. As a physical therapist working with these individuals it makes this organization even more special to me. Please help me Race2Raise for a great cause! No donation is too big or small. Thank you for your support!
Raising Funds and Awareness for Dare2tri - ONE SUPPORTS MANY
The Dare2tri Paratriathlon Club Race2Raise Team is comprised of athletes who want to make their race(s) more meaningful by supporting many! Athletes will raise funds and awareness for Dare2tri by competing in various triathlons or endurance races throughout the season.
Funds will directly go toward Dare2tri athletes and programs. Many individuals with disabilities have expensive medical bills, and adaptive sports equipment is not covered by insurance. Dare2tri believes that by remaining active, athletes build confidence, autonomy, and self-worth in both sports and in other areas of life. Dare2tri empowers athletes to believe they can do anything they set their mind to.
About Dare2tri: Launched in 2011, the club works with athletes of all ability levels from beginner to elite. Dare2tri serves youth, adults, and injured service members who have a physical disability such as amputation, spinal cord injury, stroke, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and those with visual impairments and blindness. Dare2tri is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
